Mitral Valve Prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse is a heart condition where the valve between the heart's left atrium and left ventricle doesn't close properly. This can cause blood to leak back into the left atrium, but most people with this condition don't have any symptoms. In some cases, it may lead to palpitations, chest pain, or more severe complications. Treatment options may include medications or surgery to repair or replace the faulty valve. Regular checkups are important to monitor heart health for those with this condition.
